Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Braces
How long will my treatment with metal braces take?
Every smile is unique, so treatment time varies. Most patients at Ellis Orthodontics complete their treatment with metal braces in about 12 to 24 months. During your free consultation, Dr. Ellis will give you a personalized timeline based on your specific needs.
Are metal braces a good option for adults?
Absolutely! Metal braces are a highly effective orthodontic solution for patients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults. It’s never too late to achieve the straight, healthy smile you’ve always wanted, and braces are a reliable way to get there.
Do metal braces hurt?
It’s normal to feel some mild discomfort or soreness for a few days after your braces are first put on and following adjustment appointments. This feeling is temporary and a sign that your teeth are moving into their new positions. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any discomfort.
How do I keep my teeth clean with braces?
Maintaining great oral hygiene is crucial during your treatment. You’ll need to brush carefully after every meal and floss at least once a day. We’ll show you the best techniques and provide special tools, like floss threaders, to make it easy to clean around your brackets and wires.
How often will I have appointments for my braces?
You will typically visit our Greenwood office every 4-8 weeks for a quick adjustment. These regular check-ins allow Dr. Ellis to monitor your progress, make necessary changes to your archwire, and ensure your treatment is progressing efficiently. It’s also a great time to pick new colors for your elastics
